The Ideological Subversion of the Retail Investor Towards Monetary Enslavement
Below is a 3-part video series in which I discuss how
bankers have used the concept of ideological subversion to brainwash hundreds
of millions of retail investors into accepting harmful propaganda that allows
them to build their bottom line at the expense of the investors while simultaneously
convincing investors to ignore alternate behavior that would be beneficial to
their financial welfare. Ex-KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov explained the process of
ideological subversion as a four stage process utilized by the Soviet Union to
brainwash its citizens during the cold war: (1) Demoralization; (2)
Destabilization; (3) Crisis; and (4) Normalization.
The below 3 videos may not find me in my most eloquent state
as they are unscripted, free flow productions that involve nothing more than the scribbling of few notes in pre-production. And sure, I throw in a personal theory or two based upon logical deduction. However, I'm not promoting any conspiracy theories here. I just hope to simply convey the deliberate processes by which bankers have used psychological
warfare against the masses to bludgeon billions of people into a state of
learned helplessness. Deliberately planned and executed schemes do not automatically translate into massive conspiracies. Rather those in power will always gravitate towards deceptive schemes to not only maintain but also to consolidate their power. As Bezmenov stated, the process of ideological subversion is not conducted under the cloak of dark stormy nights, though this notion is more romantic, but rather in the open in full view for all to see. It is just an invasive process that happens day by day, month by month, and year by year in a manner that is so subtle that its execution remains unnoticed by the people.
I have slightly modified the time frames of the four above
stages explained by Bezmenov to fit the model that bankers have cleverly
executed against the people over the past several decades. The process of
ideological subversion ensures that billions of people are unable to process
facts, change their behavior and take sensible tactics to defend the welfare of
their families despite being presented with an abundance of evidence that
challenges and refutes their current harmful belief system about money and
financial markets.
The inability of the masses today to reach sensible
conclusions even in the face of abundant evidence is the reason why we still
have ludicrous debates in the media today about signs of economic recovery in
the US and Europe despite an abundance of evidence that contradicts such a
conclusion. The inability of the masses to reach sensible conclusions when
struck over the head with cold hard facts is the reason why today we still have
ludicrous debates regarding the purchasing power stability of gold versus fiat
currencies. The inability of the masses to reach sensible conclusions today is
why commercial investment firms can still sell the masses the kool-aid of strong
fundamentals as the number one reason behind rising stock markets when creative
accounting 101 is the primary driver behind improved earnings statements for most
global banks worldwide. The
inability of the masses to formulate logical opinions is the reason why
hundreds of millions of investors today still subscribe to one of the worst
investment strategies ever – diversification. And a deliberate process called
ideological subversion executed by bankers in the open for all to see can
explain all of the aforementioned aberrant behavior.
Perhaps a brief explanation of how ideological subversion is
achieved, as simple as these videos are, can awaken the sleeping zombies from their century-long, banker-induced slumber and help the masses in taking their first step towards awakening to the truth of our global monetary system and the inherent fraud in financial markets. Even if you disagree with the points I make in the video, if they at a minimum made you pause and think, please forward them on to friends so that we may open up dialogue regarding this subject matter.

Diversification is bad? Really? Do you mean diversification or rebalancing? I can see hoe rebalancing would take you out of a bull market but doesn't a little diversification do some good? I'm not talking buy 20 stocks, maybe just 1 tracker, 1 bond ETF, some gold, some cash...

No opinion...yet.
Seemed like the time and place lay it on the table for discussion .
Please, spare me the reptilian shape shifters are amongst us CT.
And yet, here you are...LOL.
I take it you put no stock in it?
Why did you follow the comment thread down to here if it does not interest you?
No I put no stock in any claim that cannot be backed.
the link does not interest me for that reason. what Kim has to say might interest me ..the claim is his, he must carry the burden of proof and right now that is a bit weak.
So lets see.
The one I get a real kick out of from the sell side analysts is their recommendations to buy a stock trading at two times NAV8 because its peers are trading at 2.2 times NAV8 therefore it is roughly 10% undervalued.
The real answer is:
1) It is actually trading at a ROR of 4% if you believe the inputs:
2) The inputs are garbage since they assign value to numerous non free cashflow generating assets that do not deserve it;
3) So the real ROR is about 2%;
4) And you get exposed to the delights of the share price downside when the rest of the world comes to realize this.
Case in point: The proposed takeover of Redback by Kinross for 7.1 Billion. This is for 8 million ounces of gold in the ground. The price per ounce paid by Kinross is $900/oz takeover price + $400/oz mining cost +$200/oz capital cost = $1,500/oz. Loss to the shareholder (ie. pig), about $300 for every ounce mined.
Another delight brought to you by our fine investment banking industry.
Why rob from the masses at gunpoint when they will hand over their money willingly?
And in Europe - their bullion...
Good stuff... sending this along to some acquaintances.
It is pretty much preaching to the ZH choir but useful in re-grounding some attitudes.

Great job Kim. Keep up the good work. Propaganda is a powerful weapon and fools most of the population.
This presentation might pass the rigour for Alex Jones, but debases Zerohedge. This presentation attempts to map the 4 phases of Ideological Subversion against a subjective timeline and implies that “Bankers” are carrying out an Inter-generational banking master plan to brain wash investors...Since the last video he made was quite good, I am willing to give him a chance to proove to me that he is not another NWO “shapeshifting reptiles” CT.
so here are some analysis of what is missing
That Bankers use Investment Psychology to manipulate investors and take their money...
I would need a lot more convincing to buy this conclusion. I do not think that a bank willfully defrauds their customers. Is it not more likely that they truly believe in their analysis and based on this, they advise their customers. In hindsight their analysis is proved to be incorrect. The premises on which they based their conclusions was simply wrong.
That Bankers are carrying out an Inter-generational banking master plan.
Give me a break! that a bank director in 1960 gives 2 shits about the next 6 bank directors or what I get taught at the LSE is plainly preposterous. I only have to look at my own dad a “banker” to know that. That Keynesian economics has carried favour for some time and because of the imprecise nature of economics have managed to dodge the debunking is more plausible. For the same reason that Up to the 16th century, alchemy was considered serious science in Europe even practiced by Issac Newton himself. Otherwise you imply that all central bankers are in fact closet austrian economists and are pushing Keynes because they know it is wrong..
Related to this is the hypothesis that the banks had a motive and a master plan to latch on to social movements. Well that is a bombshell! its up there with Watergate ..so we really need the evidence of this incredibly bold claim? Names, dates, timelines, graphs, faxes of sums sent, lunch meetings, recorded testimony, everythiing! its huge!.
That central banks are there to destabilize an economy. If you mean P=P+I to engineer economic motion, well then yes, but you need the same type of instability to walk. Why would I kill the goose that gives me the golden eggs?
That money is not created as debt, well I did not go to business school, but neither did a great number of investors, they have 0 knowledge of what was taught on your MBA (who knows perhaps you did not pay enouph and got substandard books). I keep hearing this “the books are wrong”, but I never see the books or what they are comparing them to...So then what exactly do the text books teach that is different? wrong compared to what? show me the pages. Again is it not simply 2 points of view one of which carries more favour in academia? and If Austrian economics are so right, then how come they are so out of favour?
i think this is the name and interview you are looking for.

and "p=p+i to engineer economic motion" , or there 'bout,
p (will and can never) = p+i. consider destructive imbalance vs.
dynamic balance. all the description and analysis in the world
to skirt the fact that the private banking industry has captured
everything, including the mind of contemporary man. consider this
one adage, "time is money". ( and our money is public debt.
but, certain private interests can convert their private debt to
public debt at will. big bankers and others ). owners, our owners, to
who we are eternally indebted or so they have had it. this
is the "economic motion" of mistaking for gospel p=p+i.
the basis of consciousness of the people becomes a narcissistic
personal wanting and is justified by the assumption p=p+i and
all that follows from it.
or something like that, so the story goes....

ok, so 1 dodering old sod with 6 months to live needs some money to pay his healthcare bills. Regurgitates the novel he never had time to write. Is unable to coroborate anything, no papers, no tapes, nothing. Conveniently he dies. Well excuse me if I dont sell up and go off the grid.
If the Illuminati fantasy is anything more than a hoax to drive traffic to you tube, then how come we know about it?. If it is such a majestic plan, surely the likes of Griffin and Alex Jones would be out there with Hoffa a long long time ago.
See it for what it is, namely people trying to make a living. Alex Jones loud mouthing and living off schmucks. Consider the fuss over holy Blood, holy grail, which was an utter fake, or the hitler letters, or UFOs, the bible, the koran or the countless other revenue generating stories. Great stories, great revenue streams and nothing more.
As JP Getty once remarked, "there are two ways of making money in this world, through your own intelligence or through the stupidity of others and most people make their money through the stupidity of others".
Please, no more dribble, at times like these we need facts and figures not vague ruminations about an alledged bunch of people that might like to wear red togas and smack each other's bottoms raw.
If you want something which has the semblance of investigative journalism, try watching documentaries by Adam Curtis.
keep at it, you will get there.
''dribble"? i think you meant drivel
and you are just wrong. hey, it happens to everyone.
and how does p=p+i ? only for bankers and those
they care for or payoff. it is called capturing of a people.
best to you.
see "money as debt II" also.
"doddering old sod" oh my bearbottom.
Since the Adhominem has started, I presume you are out of bullets. If you don't like P=P+I or the banking system, then dont get into debt or get out of debt. When you get paid take the money straight out, turn that which you dont immediately use into gold. No big deal. There is not much you can do to help "the people", short of going into politics or becoming a multimillionare, especially if they would rather spend their time watching America's got talent instead of obtaining a modicum of Financial literacy.
i never had any bullets. ideas are very different, they can
create and i will always have some. more. till then.
god speed.
Doesn't much matter whether the efforts of banks was willful or subversive -- the outcome is the same either way, and that is what matters.
Well the assertion may be of no relevance to what has already occured, but I think knowing which one we are dealing with in future events might be useful.
Maybe if you knew the difference between "banker" in this context, and one who works in, or even manages a bank, you would understand that the "industry" is managed in such a way that your Dad can easily be a stand up guy without changing the premise one bit. "Bankers" tried to assassinate Jackson, twice. "Bankers" slithered up to Rockefeller's Grandpappy Aldrich in 1913. "Bankers" know they ultimately are beholden to "The City". Someone here brought up an excellent analogy, the degrees of Scottish Rite Freemasonry.
Are we sure that we dont have "banker envy". I mean I am a little bit jelous that I dont get to live in a duplex overlooking central Park. I have to hand it to them, I am just too stupid to come up with plans to make that kind of dough.
Max Kieser calls it the "Gullag Casino."
btw, is it possible to post images into this blog?

I think acritical indicator of sheeple servitude is the ROEI - Return on Energy Investment. That is the energy required to find and exploit energy resources divided by the Energy delivered by the found energy, wether it be oil, gas coal...
Our ROEI has been droping and when it hits about 1.6 to 1.8 our economy runs into problems. When I get a momement I'd like to plot ROEI against disposable incomes and energy costs.
The energy vice is deadly. As oil gets more expensive, its ROEI drops and concurrently drives the stock market up. At an inflection point ROEI drops off and destroys GDP. We have crossed the inflection point at about $80/bbl, so theoretically, we are now destroying GDP but driving up stock prices.
So what we need is either a quantum leap in ROEI or a paradigm change from constant growth. Fusion remains a chimera; "renewables" are a ROEI black hole; Thorium, maybe? What else?

please post this on paul krugman's blog on nytimes.com I'd do so but at this point I got hacked yesterday after posting a critical essay about false assumptions of economists and had to buy a new computer
I'd like to read that essay. Can you post the link or repost your comment here?
Great videos. The implications of what is being said in them is far greater than just the financial markets. These same principals of brainwashing have been very successfully applied to the "war on terror" 9/11 and general American history. It is, in short, the total dumbing down of a nation.
Thanks for posting it. I'll be passing it along.
Thanks for doing this. Sadly, most of your viewers are likely to already be semi-aware of this kind of thing. Those who need to 'wake up' are not going to want to realize that they have been played as fools for a very long time.
Actually, those that need to wake up are probably going to remain in the dark and take it into their coffin. They will not realize that they are in fact "suckers" - human nature is fairly predictable and the sociopath bankers and politicians are masters at manipulation.
So what you are saying is that you woke up because you are smart and predestined and others didn't and won't because they just aren't?
Or is it that if more people (you, me) did what he and others are doing, the chances all those "suckers" have to wake up would finally reach critical mass?
Chain reaction, bitches!
Inability of the masses? The Internet has only really been around ten years and its effect is already profound. How long between the Gutenberg press and the spread of knowledge?
The "masses" are awakening and are using, here in the states, the 10th Amendment, nullification and the ballot box. They are giving peaceful protest a chance.

"The Internet has only really been around ten years and its effect is already profound." Yes, and no.
Yes, the internet has allowed vastly more numbers of ordinary folks to communicate and get information. However, ZH and other blogs are a tiny, tiny subset of the planet and the USA. Even more troubling is that there are still arguments regarding net neutrality. Don't you think that if they had half a chance, Comcast, AT&T and the other ISPs would leap at the chance to apportion bandwidth? Disney, GE, and the other corporate ilk would get the fastest pipes and ZH would operate at dial up speed unless you paid extra. The fact that this is even debated is how sick and captured our government has become. You have to know that corporate and government kleptocracy would love to restrict the internet. Let's not congratulate ourselves too early.
ps, I wasn't the one who junked you.
